Briefing room

A briefing room is an area on a starship or in a facility where the command staff can meet to discuss events and plan their responses. Aboard starships, briefing rooms are usually located in proximity to the ship's bridge.

Aboard some smaller starships, such as the Defiant-class, their was no dedicated briefing room due to the space requirements. Instead, there is a small table area at the back of the bridge or the mess hall could serve in some circumstances. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
